#149. The Mental Health Crisis of America Is Here - Antonia Hylton | MADNESS

Why is there a mental health crisis in America? Is the culture of America sick? Is journalism dying in America? 

Today’s conversation with an Emmy-award-winning journalist will reveal exactly how culture influences community mental health care and the history of mental health stigma in America. 

Antonia Hylton is an Emmy-award-winning journalist and news anchor at NBC News reporting on politics and civil rights, and the co-host of the hit podcast Southlake. 

Antonia graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University, where she received prizes for her investigative research on race, mass incarceration, and the history of psychiatry. 

Expect to learn about the thesis of the book Madness, the necessity of intellectual diversity, why America Is divided, the sick American culture, the need for common humanity, why pain does not discriminate, and more.

You can grab her forthcoming book, Madness: Race and Insanity in a Jim Crow Asylum, on January 23rd, everywhere! 

Let's get this started.
